Running job with multiple partition

There is an option selecting more then one partition when submitting your job to the queue, to do that you need to specify in comma separated list the partitions you would like to submit your job to.

Your job will be submitted to the first partition with free resources in the hierarchy  from left to right from the list of partitions that you entered in the list. Examples:

All the examples below show the standard -p / --partition option of Slurm but with comma seperated list of partitions that you should add to your job.

To run short jobs (less than 24 hours):

-p hive1d,hive7d, hiveunlim

If you also have some private nodes: (replace "private" with the partition name)

-p private,hive1d,hive7d, hiveunlim

If you are willing to risk your jobs being killed and rerun: (for short jobs)

-p hive1d,hive7d,hiveunlim,preempt1d,preempt7d,preempt31d

Same with a private partition:

-p private,hive1d,hive7d,hiveunlim,preempt1d,preempt7d,preempt31d



To run longer jobs: (up to 7 days)

-p hive7d,hiveunlim

Same with private partition:

-p private,hive7d,hiveunlim

With checkpointing:

-p hive7d,hiveunlim,ckptdell7d,ckptdell31d

or

-p hive7d,hiveunlim,ckpthp7d,ckpthp31d

Same with private partition:

-p private,hive7d,hiveunlim,ckptdell7d,ckptdell31d

or

-p private,hive7d,hiveunlim,ckpthp7d,ckpthp31d


To run very long jobs: (up to 31 days)

-p hiveunlim

Same with private partition:

-p private,hiveunlim

With checkpointing:

-p hiveunlim,ckptdell31d

or

-p hive7d,hiveunlim,ckpthp31d

Same with private partition:

-p private,hiveunlim,ckptdell31d

or

-p private,hiveunlim,ckpthp31d



To run jobs that require more than 128GB memory:

-p queen

With checkpointing:

-p queen,queenckpt
